Where I live, that notation system is the Aiken shape notes seen here:

There are church communities here where people seriously do not know 
that the rest of the world uses "unshaped" notes. And with pretty 
minimal music education, a never-before-seen hymn can have full SATB 
harmony by the second verse.
